CARB KIT FROM, JON HARGROVE

John,

thanks for making the call. I had emailed him asking about the correct kit and he said "call me" which now I know why. Do you think it is possible to get the carb id without taking it off the car?

Here are the pictures. The numbers are at the head of the pen.

I think it would be tough to do since the numbers are probably covered with paint and dirt. I think if you take off the four nuts and drop the carb down (with the linkage and springs still attached) you could probably get to it. My bet is that it is kit # CS1694 as that is what all my carbs took.

My car has a 434 on it.

So it looks like mine is going to clean up without the kit. I'm going to give it a try to see how it runs and I may need to buy one in the end.

My carb has been disassembled, cleaned, reassembled and is going back on today. It was very gummy but the limited internal parts were in good shape. I will report on any improvements in the engine running.

I mentioned this John a year or so ago . My carburetor would not take Hargrove parts and my Carburetor fellow had to put the needle in a small lathe and turn it down . They said they had the same trouble with his attitude and parts with other customers . The maddening thing is he would not ship the part USPS he had to use Fedex . Canadian Customs charged me $60 handling fee since it came in by Fedex plus duty . There is no $60 fee with USPS except the duty .
